This is to certify to the public, particularly to those ufUicted with a disease of theLungs, or tossUMrnoN, that in the Spring of1843 I wus uttacked with a sevove cold, whichsoon became seated upon my Lungs, showing alttne symptoms oi un approaching Consumption.Mvcongh was tight and troublesome, attendedwith copious uiuht sweats; I spit up duilv a con-siderable quantity of blood mixed with thick darkmatter. My situation become serious and alarming.-Dunns; this time'l was attended bv two ofour most skillful Physicians, they did the best theycould for me, wheu nt length, they gave np allHopes ot my recovery, uilorruiiig me that nothingmore could bo done that mv lunas were futnllvdiseased, and beyond remedy, I was then persuaded by a friend of mine to'mnke a trial of DR.DUNCAJV8 EXPECTORANT REMEDY, whichmy Physicians persisted against, saying thnt thisuiemciue would do no goou, and would still addmore to my sullerine. I told thorn it was mv Instand only hope, aud that if 1 must die of the disease, (which was evident to me.) there would benothing lost. So I sent to the Cincinnati Office,and obtained 5 bottles of this truly valuable mediid, an 1 commenced using according to the directions, which instead of adding to my suflbring,immediately gave me relief, lit once arresting thetroublesome Cough; easing the pain and tightnessin my Chest; giving me a new lire and strength,which soon enabled me to be about again. Thismedicine coutiuued its good work, which it so nobly commenced, until I wus mude a sound man.I have since been attending to my business, (upwards of 3 years) Dud feefas healthy as I wish,t have recommended Dr. Duncan't ExpectorantRemedy in many instances to those similarly afflicted, and it has always proved successful so fur us Ihave witnessed its effects." My sister is using thismedicine at present, for a Ditratcd Liver and anArricnoN or ths Ldnos. which aha hail suffered with for some time; she has nearly recoveredby the use of this medicine, and I am confidentthe 6 bottles that I take with me to-day will entirely cure ber. , I am sorrv to know that thereare thousands of valuable persous wasting awaywuu me areauiuiacairoyer tUiBUMrTION.Were it only possible for Nthose to procure thismedicine iu time, before it be too late, many livesmight be prolonged and their families and relations agaiu rendered happy. This medicine willcive instant relief, at the same time arrest the hardand paiufut Cough, remove the tightness iu theInest; give strength to the uleeble.u and emaciated frame, and in most cases, am ,certain, willperform a perfect cure.ANDREW J FELTER.

From th National Intelligencer..iccond Despatches from fttHjor' . . : Downing.IIiaDqcarters, Mtxico, new addition to'' ' Ae United Stale; October, 25, 1847Mr. CJaleb Sc Sevton: My dear oldriond, Ginoial Scott and I find a gooddaal of bollier about getting our despatches through to Vera Cruz, or else you'dhear from roe oftener. I do think thePresident is too backward about clearinout this road from here to Vera Cruz andkeeping it open, and introducing the improvements into the country that we standso much in need heie. He and Mr.Ritchie pretonds to have constitutionalscruples about it.and says the constitutiondont allow of internal improvements, andMr. Ritchie says the resolution of '98 isdead agin it too; and, besides, Mr. Ritchiesays these internal improvements is aFederal doctrine, and he'd always' goagin 'em for that if nothing else. : tut 'tisstrange to me the President hasn't neverfound out yet that where there's a willthere 'a a way, constitution or noconstitution. All he's got to do is to call allthese roads round heie in Mexico "military roads," and then he'd have the constitution on his aide, for every body knowsthe constitution allows him to make military roads. I know the President is verydelicate about fringing on the constitution, so I don't blame him so much forholding back about the internal improvements here in Mexico, thouch I dont thinkthere's any other part oftheUnited States,where they are needed more. Butthere's no need of splitting hairs aboutthe roads; military roads isn't internalimprovements, and he's a right to makemilitary roads as much as he pleases.And as them is just the kind of roads wewant here, and shall want for fifty years,(tor our armies will have to keeo marching about the country for fifty years beforethey'll be able to tamo these Mexicans,and turn 'em into Americans,) it is confounded strange to me that the President is so behind hand about this business. What s the ' use of our going onand annexin away down south here, if hedont back us up and hold on to the slack?And there's no way to hold on to it butto keep these military roads opon so ourarmies can go back and forth and bringus in victuals and powder and shot andmoney. "Here we've been, weeks and weekssince we annexed the city of Mexico,waiting and holding on for the Presidentto send us more men and money, and tellus what to do next. This backwardnessof the President since -we got into thecity of Mexico seems more strange to me,considering. For, when he was fixinme off to come put hero and see if I couldmake a settlement with Santa Anna, Itried to persuade Inm to let the armieshold still while I was making the bargain.1 told him he never could bring a man toreason or to trade, when he was knocking of him down all the time. But Icouldn't make him seem to understand it.He stood to it his way was tliabest thesword in one hand and peace in tother,all the way along a word and ablow andthe blow always first.. "Why, Major Downing," says ho, "ifyou want to reason a man into a peace,that's another thing; but if you want toconquer a peace, my way Is the only way.That's the way I ' begun this war, andthat's the way I meau to carry it out."'.'How so?" says I; "how did you beginthe war in tbnt way?" ,. " Why'sayshe'Slidell was the word,nnd Tayler was the blow; and not onlymy friends; but even my enemies, admitthat the blow come first.'1The President said that was the rulehe had gone by all the way along, and homeant to stick to it; and not hearing anything from him so long, I'm afraid he'sgot a notion that , peace is conquered.But that would be a bad mistake,, if hehas gflt such a notion; for it isn't conquer-ed; its only scattered. It's a good dealas twas with Bill Johnson, when he andI was boys, and he undertook to conquera hornet's nest, oxpectin to got lots ofhoney. He took a club and marchedbravely up to it and hit it an awful dig,and knocked it into a thousand flinders."There, blast ye'" says Bill, "I guessyou're done to now;" as he begun to lookround for the honey. But he soon found'twas n't conquered, 'twas only scattered.And presently they bagun to fly at himand sting him on all sides. One hit hima dab on the arm, and another on his log,and another in his face. At last Billfound he should 'soon be done tu himselfif he staid there, so he cut and run."Hullo," says I, Bill, wheie's your honey?""Darn it all, says he, "if I hatnt gotno honey, 1 knocked their house topieces; 1 ve got th at to comfort me."1 wish you would try and convince thePresident 'tis only scattered here: 'tis n'tconquered, and he must give us themeans to keep moving, or ..we shall getbadly stung bime-by. . If he only backsus up well, I II pledge myself that we 11carry out the campaign marked out inmy last despatches,' which . would bringus clear down to Cape Horn in four orfive years; and I'm very anxious to getthere.it strikes me thai it would be sucha good horn to hold on to in all dilemmas,even if all the rest of the country . wentby the board. I dreampt tother nightthat we had got through annexing allNorth and South America; and then Ithought our whole country was turned,into a monstrous great ship of war, andMr. Polk the Captain. And the captainwas walking the deck with his mouth sliet,and every body was looking at him andwondering what ha was going to do next.At last he sung out, "put her about; we'llsail across now and take - Europe andAsia and Africa in tow don't stop forbird's-egging round among the West India Islands; we can pick them up as wecome back along crowd, all sail nowand let her havs it." ..'Away we want: I never sea a ship sailfaster. The wind begun to blow harderOHIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1817.and harder, and then it come an awfulstorm, and at last it blowed a perfect harrycane. The sails begun to go to flitters,and she rolled as if she was going to upset. Some of the oldest and best sailorsamong the crew told the captain we shouldall go to destruction if he didn't take insail, and furl and clew up, and get thingstight, and bring her bead round to ihewind., Mr. Ritchie was standing by hisside, and says he, "Captain Polk, themis all nothing but Federal lies, as I'veshown hundreds of times, not only in theUnion, but years and years ago in theEnq uirer. Them fellers onlv want togive aid and comfort to the enemy; dontpay any attention to 'em. Here's thachart, (he held up in his hand the resolutions of '98.) sail by this and I'll risk heron any tack and all weathers."Un we went, lickity-split, the harrv-cane blowed harder, the timbers begunto cracK, tne tails split to ribbons, someof the spars begun to snap and go by theboard, and then all at onco there was aa terrible cry of "breakers ahead!" TheCaptain thenjumped as if lie was wideawake; and, says he, "call all hands andput her about." But when the officerscume to give orders to the crew, not oneof them would mind or pay any attention.The whole crew was in a mutinv: and theship was so large and the crew auch amixed up mess of all soits of folks thatthere was more thamwenty different mutinies all at once in 'different parts of thevessel.Well," says Captain Polk. "I washmy hands of this mischief; if the crewwont turn to help, the ship must go ashore.i Den an old sailor spoke up and said:"All the crews in the world could'nt doany good now; the ship was dished andmust be plumped on the rocks, her sailsand spars were eone, the timbers snruncand the hold already half full of water."in a lew minutes she struck, and the rocksgored a hole through her side, and the !water poured in, and down she sunk lower and lower, till at lust she gave onemighty guggle, and plunged all underthe water, except a piece of the bowspritthat still stuck out. The storm and thewaves swept over her, and the wholecrew and every body aboard was lost,excepts few of us who scrabbled up andclung to the bowsprit. .''The hard spring I had to make to geton the bowsprit waked me up: and al- fthough I ain't one that thinks much ofdreams, I cant help thinking a good dealof Cape Horn, and naturally feel anxiousto get along down that way as fast as wecan; so I hope you'll urge the Presidentto be a little more stirring, and let us havomen and money a little faster.I shall have to break off here for today, because I've got to write a little despatch to the President tosend by the samepost.: I have received some letters fromUncle Joshua and other relations "andfriends in the United States, and sendsome of 'em along to you, which you can,it you think best, hitch on to my despatches, jest as Ginoial Scott takes theletters of his under-officors and hitcheson to his despatches. " 'So I remain your old friend,MAJOR JACK DOWNING. 'No. II. To Jamh K. Potit. President of theUnited State, and all annexed Ccuntrici:Hiadquartkhs, Citt or Mexico )Annexed United State: October 25, 1847 JDear Colonel; Things is gettin alonghere as well as could be expected, considerin the holp we have, but we "are altogether too weak-handed to work toprofit. If you want us to hurry alongdown south, we need a good deal morehelp and money. " It would'nt benousoto give that three' millions of dollars toSanta Anna now, for the people have gotso out with him that he could'nt makepeace if he had six millions. He's skulking about the country, and has as much ushe can do to tiike care of himself. So Ithink you had betttergive up the notionabout peace altogether, it'll be such ahard thing to get, and send us on the threomillions here to help us along in our annexin. It's dangerous standin still inthis annexin business. It's like the oldwoman's soap; if it dont go ahead it goesback. It would bd a great help to us inthe way ofholden on to what we get, ifyou would carry out that plan of givingthe Mexican land to settlers from the U.States as fust as we annex it. I've beenimpatient to see your proclamation offer;ing tho .land to settlers to come out hern.You've no idea how much help it wouldbe to us if we only had a plenty of ourfolks out here, so that, aa fast as we killed a Mexican or drove him off from hisfarm, we could put an American right ontoil. 11 we could only plant as we go,in this way, we could soon have a crop ofsettlers that could hold on to the slack jthemselves, and leave the army, free to igo ahead and keep on annexin. 1 thought,when 1 lett Washington, you was a goingto put out such a proclamation right a-1way. And 1 think you are putting it otta good deal to long, for we've got landand farms enough here now for two hun-dred thousand at loast; and, if they wouldonly como on fust enough I think we couldmake room for twenty thousand a weekfor a year to come. But I'm afraid you'retoo delicate about doing your duty in thisbusiness; you are such a . tickler for theconstitution. 1 m afraid you re waitingfor Congress to 'meet so as to let themhave a finger in the pie. But I would ntdo it: if you do, I'm afraid you'll wishyour cake was dough again. From all Ican hear from home things is looking rather squally there. 1 Our party seem to befalling off, in IS ew York btate they areall faded away Into Barnburners andHunkers, and it looks all over the country as if the Whigs was coming into power; and if they should it would be a terrible calamity, for they are too narrowminded and too much behind the ago tounderstand the' rights of this annoxinbusiness,and its ten chances to one if theydont contrive soma way to put a stop toit." .' O '; : '' ' . .I've got a good deal mora that I wantto say, and soma advice I should like togive you, but I shall ba obliged to leaveit till my next despatch. I naed'nt stopto tell yon about Uiiieral br.ott in this,cause I spose he'll speak for himself. ButI must tell you I went tother day to Ginaral Cushintr. and ' found him awfullvtickled about being nominated for Governor oi me uid liay State. At first hewas a good deal amazed at it; he was asmuch surprised as you was, Colonel,when you was nominated for President.What amazed him so much was that he'dalways been thinking all along that hewas a Whig, till the nomination come,and then he jumped up and snapped hislingers, ana said ne believed, after all,the Democrats were the right party!He's in great sperits, and says he's nodoubt he shall be elected. Ho goes forannexin now the hottest of any of us, andsays ho takes the great Alexander for hismodel, and goes for annexin as long asthere is any country left to annex. Hisancle is quite well, and Gineral Pillow'sfoot is a good deal better.

Editors.i1ti0fdlancou0.From tne National Intelligencer.The Great Fremont Bide. TlieCnlirornnn Horse.Ride of Lieut. Colonel Fbemont.hisFriend Don Jesus, (pronounced Hi-SJOOS) PlCO, AND HIS SERVANT JaCOB DoD-son, From Los Angki.es to Montereyand back, in March, 1847. This extraordinary rido of eight hundred miles, ineight days, including all stoppages andnear two days detention a whole davand night at Monterey, and near two halfcays at ban Luis Obispo having beenbrought into evidence before the ArmyCourt Martial, now in session in this citv.ana great ucsire being expressed by somefriends to know how the ride was made.I herewith send you the particulars, thatyou may publish them if you please inthe National Intelligencer, as an incidentconnected with the times and affairs under review in trial, of which you give sofull a report. The circumstances werefirst go; from Jacob, afterward revisedby Col. Fremont, and I draw them upfrom this joint statement. The publication will show, besides the horsemanshipof the riders, the power of the Californianhonie, especially as one of the horseswas subjected, in the course of the ride,to an extraordinary trial in order to exhibit the capacity of his race.It was at daybreak on the morning oftne zju ot March that the party set outfrom la Cindad de los Angeles (the cityof the Angels, in the southern part olUpper California, to proceed in the shortest time to Monterey, un the Pacific Ocean, distant full four hundred miles.The way is over a mountainous country,much of it uninhabited, with no otherroad than a trace, and many defiles topass, particularly the maritime defile ofel Kincon, or Punto Gordo, fifteen milesin extent, made by a jutting of a precipitous mountain into the sea, which canorHy be passed when the tide is out andthe sea calm, and even then in many places through tho waves. The towns ofSanta Barbara and San Luis Obispo andoccasional ranchos, are the principalinhabited places on the route. Each ofthe party had three horses, nine in all, totake their turns under the saddle. Thesix loose horses ran ahead, without bridleor halter, and required some attention tokeep to tho track.When wanted for a change, say at thedistances of 20 miles, they were caughtby the lasso, thrown either by Don Jesusor the servant Jacob, who, though bornand raised in Washington, in his long expeditions with Col. Fremont had becomeas expert aa a Mexican with tha lasso,as sure as a mountaineer with the rifle,equal to either on horse or foot, and aKways a lad ot courage and fidelity. Noneof the horses were shod, that being apractice unknown to the Culifornians.The most usual gait was a aweeping gallop. The first day they ran one hundrednnd twenty-five miles, passing the SanFernando mountain, the defile of the Riucon. Several other mountains, and slept atthe hospitable ranchoof Don To mas Robbeiis, beyond the town of Santa Barbara. The only fatigue complained of inthis day's ride was in Jacob's right arm,made tired by throwing the lasso andusing it as a whip to 1teep the .loose horses to the track. .The next day they made another onehundred and twenty-five miles, passingthe formidable mountain of Santa Barbara, and counting upon it the skeletons ofsome fifty horses, part of near double thatnumber which perished in "the crossingof that terrible mountain by the California battalion on Christmas day, 1846, amidst a raging tempest, and a deluge ofrain and cold more killing than that 'ofthe Sierra Nevada the day of severestsuffering, say Fremont and his men, thntthey have ever passed. At sunset theparty stopped to sup with the lnendlyCapt. Dana, and at nine San Luis Obispowas readier", the home ot Von Jesus,where an effecting reception awaited Lt.Col. Fremont, In consequence of an incident which occurred there, that historywill onedayrecord;wandbe wasdetaiuodtill 11 o'clock in the morning receivingthe visit; of the inhabitants, (mothers andchildren included,) taking a breakfastof honor, and waiting for a relief of freshhorses to be brought in li'om the surrounding country.Here tha nine horses from los Angeles were left and eight others taken intheir place, and a Spanish boy added tothe party to assist in managing the loosehorses. Proceeding at tha usual gait till8 at night, and having made some seventy miles, Don Jesus, who had spent thenight before with his family and friends,and probably with little sleep, becamefatigued, and proposed a halt for a fewhours. It was in thevallevof tha Salinas; (Salt nyer, called Butna Yentura inthe old maps,) and the haunts of marauding Indians. For safety during theirrepose, the porty turned off the trace issued through s canada into athick wood,aud lay down, th horses being put tograss at short distance with the Spanishboy in a saddle to watch. Sleep, whencommenced, was too sweet te be easilygiven up, and it was half way betweenmidnight and day when the sleepers wereamused by an eitampcdo among the horses and the calls of the boy. :,Ihe cause nf alarm was soon found,not Indians, but white bears this valleybeing their great resort, encounteredsome hundred of them the summer before, killing thirteen upon (he ground.ihe character of these bears is wellknown, and the bravest hunters do notlike to meet them without advantage ofnumbers, un discuverina the enemv.Col. F. felt for his pistols, but Don Jesusdesired him to lie still, saying that "people could scare bears;" and immediatelyhe hallowed at them in Spanish, and theywent off. Sleep went off also; and therecovery of the horses frightened by thebears, building a rousing fire, making abreakfast from the hospitable supplies ofcan L.UIM Ubispo, occupied the party tilldaybreak; when the journey was resumed. Eightv miles and the afternoonbrought the party to Monterey.The next day, in the afternoon, theparty set out on their return, and the twohorses ridden by Col. F. from Obispo, being a present to him from Don Jesus, he(Don Jesus) desired to make an experiment of what one of them could do.They were brothers, one a grass younger than the other, both of the same color,(cinnamon) and hence called r.analo orlos canalos, (the cinnamon, or the cinnamons.) 1 he elder brother was taken forthe trial; and the journey commenced upon him at leaving Monterey, the afternoonwell advanced. Thirty miles undersaddle done that evening, and the partystopped for the night. In the morningthe elder canalo was again under saddlefor Col. F. and for ninety miles hecarried him without a change and without apparent fatigue. It was still thirtymiles to San Luis Obispo, where thenight was to be passed, and Don Jesusinsisted that canalo could easily doit,and so said the horse by his looks aud action. But Col. F. would not put him tothe trial, and, shifting the saddle to theyounger brother, the elder was turnedloose to run the remaining thirty mileswiihout a rider. 'Ho did so, immediately taking the leadand keeping it all the way, and enteringSan Luis in a sweeping gallop, nostrilsdistended, snumng the air and neighingwith exultation of his return to his nativepastures, his younger brother all the whilerunning at the head of the horses underthe saddle, bearing on his bit, and heldin by his rider. The whole eight horsesmade their one hundred and twenty mileseach that day, (after thirty the eveningbefore,) the elder cinnamon making ninety under the saddle that day; besidesthirty under the saddle tho evening before; nor was there the least doubt thathe would have done the whole distancein the same time if he had coutinuedunder the saddle. -After a hospitable detention of anotherhalt day at ban Luis Ubispo, the partyset out for los Angeles on the same ninehorses which they had ridden from thatplace, and made the ride back in aboutthe same time they had made it up, namely at the rate of 125 miles a day.On this ride the grass on the road wasthe food for the horses. At Montereythey had barley; but those horses, meaning those trained and domesticated,, asthe canalos were, eat almost anything inthe way of vegetable food or even dunk,that their master uses, by whom they arepetted and caressed, and rarely sold.Bread, fruits, sugar, coffee, and evenwine, (like the Persian horse,) they takefrom the hand of their master, and obeywith like docility his slightest intimation.A tap ot the whip on the saddle springsthem into action; the check nf a threadrein (on the Spanish bit) would stop themand stopped short at speed they do notjostle the rider or throw him forward.They leap on "anything man, beast orweapon, on which their master directsthem. But this description, so far asconduct or beheavior is concerned, ofcourse only applies to the trained, anddomesticated horse."History" need not be waited for,the newspapers having long since toldthe story. Don Jesus was the leader ofthe insurrection. Taken prisoner byCol. Fremont, he was condemned todeath, but his life was yielded to the entreaties and prayers of his wife, whomade ber way to the presence of Col.r remout for the purpose. H,ver since hahas been Col. Fremont's firm and faithful friend. Com.
